Thoughts

I went from an easy, hurried, low-maintenance facial cleaning ritual to trying out the Asian 10 step skincare routine. Being raised in New York City has damaged and polluted my skin; I'm now repairing and focusing on anti-aging.
I want to buy and use products from a broad number of brands, I didn't just want to stick with one brand, I shopped around and compared all. I will try to write reviews each month, one which will be a list my skincare routine products, sharing my experiences on each product.

KORA Organics Noni Night AHA Pore & Resurfacing Serum

KORA Organics

Noni Night AHA Pore & Resurfacing Serum

Very light serum. Doesn't sting. There is a slight turmeric scent. I wasn't a fan because i don't like the scent. I also didn't see any changes in my skin when I used it during the winter time.

Hanyul Artemisia Miracle Relief Essence

Love this watery essence. It's calming and absorbs fast with a mild herb scent that I enjoy. It has mugwort which claim antibacterial benefits.

AMOREPACIFIC Moisture Plumping Nectar Cream

Love this luxurious gel cream! I've been using this as a day cream between summer and autumn which my skin drinks up. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave any stickiness. The product gives me some radiance and keeps my skin well moisturized throughout the day.

Belif Aqua Bomb Hyalucid 11% Serum

I really enjoyed this goodness of a serum between the transitional times of summer and autumn. My skin drinks up this serum and it doesn't feel sticky. The only downside is that the bottle is a bit small. I wished they made a bigger bottle because I used this entire bottle within weeks.

SUNDAY RILEY Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream

It's nice for the winter. I'm not a fan of the scent. The cream is a bit thick for my liking but my skin did feel smoother the following morning. Great for fine lines because this cream is quite moisturizing.

FRESH Floral Recovery Calming Mask

I'm not a fan of this mask. I prefer the black tea line better. I had high expectations for this product but didn't love it enough to purchase it again when I saw tit on sale for half off at the Ulta 21 days of beauty. The mask is thick but it didn't do anything for my pimples or breakouts that I've been having for the past 2 weeks.

Belif Aqua Bomb PHA Exfoliating Toner Pads

This is a toner pad with very mid exfoliating properties. Good for all seasons but perfect for best for hot humid summers. I've used the original neogen pads when it first came out years ago but never thought they I would reach for these similar pads one day. I might use them when I travel.
